Russia’s 300,000 tons of diesel and Rubio’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court hit the same target: the globalist apparatus George Soros built. Susan Kokinda follows the fight from Navi Pillay’s Nobel to Rubio in Athens and a Columbus Day proclamation quoting Pope Leo XIII.
From steel mills to shipyards to spaceports, Mike Steger explores Trump’s “Freedom’s Forge 2.0”—a vision to rebuild American industry, revive the West, and relight the torch of progress.

The key outcome of Trump's China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi — Xi's "secret garden" tour, previously reserved for Putin — establishing guardrails for the U.S.–China race. London and Carney are screaming.
Barbara Boyd argues the key outcome of Trump’s China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi, symbolized by Xi’s “secret garden” tour previously reserved for Putin, and framed as establishing guardrails for U.S.–China strategic and tech competition amid the Iran war and energy geopolitics. She says London and Democrats are “screaming” because Trump is reshaping global economic relationships while Treasury Secretary Bessent lifts U.S. sanctions on Russian exports. The episode targets Mark Carney and Keir Starmer as City of London figures who tried to capture China finance, advance BRICS as a dollar alternative, promote a synthetic reserve currency via CBDCs, and steer $130T through green finance—efforts Boyd says have failed as Trump reverses “Green New Deal” policies. She highlights DOJ election-rigging probes, renewed scrutiny of “Russiagate,” anti-fraud prosecutions, voter backlash, and insurgent politics in Los Angeles and London.
